What is expiring in December 2026
Three product EPDs are scheduled to lapse on December 29, 2026. All three sit under the International EPD System and cover ready‑to‑eat vegetables and tomato products.
- CIRIO Borlotti Beans, validity ending 2026‑12‑29.
- VALFRUTTA Sieved Tomatoes Steamed Cooked, validity ending 2026‑12‑29.
- VALFRUTTA Green Peas, validity ending 2026‑12‑29.
Think of this like musical chairs, except there are extra seats. There are newer EPDs for these same lines already in place, so no one is left standing when the music stops.
Replacements already live
Each expiring declaration has an updated EPD that remains valid through 2028.
- Cirio Borlotti Beans has a current EPD valid to 2028‑12‑22 (EPD International, 2025).
- Valfrutta Sieved Tomatoes Steamed Cooked has a current EPD valid to 2028‑12‑22 (EPD International, 2022).
- Valfrutta Green Peas has a current EPD valid to 2028‑12‑22 (EPD International, 2025).
That overlap means specifers do not lose access to verified, product‑specific data when the 2026 records retire.

What project teams should do next
If these products sit in your standard library, keep using them and log the newer registration where you track documentation. Confirm the validity date on submittals and reference the current PCR noted in each EPD. If your client portal caches PDFs, refresh the file so everyone pulls the 2028 record during tender reviews.
Why renewal overlap matters commercially
Most product EPDs follow a five‑year cycle. Allowing the incoming declaration to run in parallel with the outgoing one avoids gaps that can trigger unnecessary substitutions and rework during precon. The practical win is speed, fewer clarifications, and cleaner audit trails when LEED v5 documentation is assembled at closeout.

The takeaway
Three Conserve Italia EPDs will age out on December 29, 2026, yet newer declarations for the same products already carry through December 22, 2028. No gap is forming, and no substitution risk should surface if teams reference the current records. Timely renewals keep momentum, protect bids, and let your sales and technical teams focus on winning work, not chasing paperwork that should be set‑and‑forget.
